Shoreline has firmed up nicely and with co;d temps accesses should be safe. DNR access and Lakeside access remain closed.

All accesses  should be considered poor. DNR access is closed as two pickups went down. I saw a car go through the ice on Lakeside access. I would suggest atv and small houses would be fine.

Fishing is the same as last week. It is all good. Ice thickness is still 14-16 inches. We are in the middle of a blizzard warning. I will update ice conditions at later date.

Lots of activity and fish being caught. Ice on most area lakes is 14-16 inches.Crappies on Maple, Reno, Mountain, and Waska. Notherns on Emily, Mountain, Waska, Mary, and Freeborn. Walleyes on Reno, Emily, and Waska. Stay in 16-18 feet of water on Waska. Most walleyes are being caught after dark on Waska. Panfish on Mill, Oscar, Freeborn, Miltona to name a few lakes. Good all over!

Happy New Year! Ice is 12-14 inches on area lakes. Use common caution when going out. Lots of fishing activity being reported with mostly good results. Call ahead for more specific reports.

Most reports say ice is over 10 inches. Saw some big wheel houses going out on Waska. Remember winter ice is never completely safe!

Merry Christmas! A day early with report. The big blizzard missed us. We have cold and wind but it is making ice. We have 8-10 inches of good ice on area lakes. We suggest normal winter  caution as ice is never 100% safe. Still have great first ice fishing on all area lakes. Will do update when we get more info.

The report is a day early this week because it is good ! We have 6-8 inches of good ice on the area lakes. Sleds and wheelers are all over Waska and Reno.No big wheel houses on Waska yet. Crappies are being caught on Pomme de Tere, Reno, Maple and Waska. Northerns have been good on Emily and Red Rock. Walleyes have been good on Waska, Emily and Reno. This will be the best walleye activity all winter. Panfish have been good on Rachael, Freeborn, Mary and other smaller lakes towards Alex. Call ahead for more detailed fish reports and ice conditions.

We have 3-5 inches of solid ice on all area lakes. Walleyes and panfish are good on Reno. Crappies being caught on Pomme de Terre. Some walleye and northern being caught on Emily. Panfish are good on most small lakes. Use a lot of caution on the ice!

Early ice is here and with it a word of caution! Reno, Rachael, Red Rock, Freeborn, Emily and Waska report 2- 4 inches of solid ice. Reno and Emily report walleyes. The rest of the lakes are panfish. Good solid first ice but still use a lot of caution.
